Link at path level

Question

Hi Guys,
I need a link in CHM. Linking needs to be like this:
Link Name: Hello
Link File: Hello.txt
When I copy CHM to different folder, and user clicks on the
link "Hello", it should open up the "Hello.txt" file present in the
same directory, where CHM is present.
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Ruziyo.

Hi Ruziyo and Colum
While Colum's suggestion is valid, meaning that you may
include a text file among your baggage files and open it from
there, I suspect you also want to save things in this file for
later recall, no? You won't be able to do that using the baggage
method, because the .TXT file is simply sitting in a place where
updates cannot occur. This is like burning to a CD.
What you can do, however, is to insert a HTML Help Shortcut
control and program the control to start Windows Notepad and look
for the .TXT file. If you take this approach, you don't even need
to ship a .TXT file. If your goal is to create a link for a place
for your user to store notes, this will do it. If the file doesn't
exist, Notepad will assume that name and will create the file on
the fly.
Hopefully this helps... Rick
